The real mother has abandoned the child to her more responsible sister. And now, Jack is being called upon to take responsibility for the first time in his life.

"Jack is my favorite of the Travis siblings and this was my favorite book.<br/><br/>This book wrecked me. Cover-to-effing cover. The premise of the book is unlike any other that I've read: The baby sister, wracked with PPD, dumps her newborn off with her mother (who, I'm pretty sure has NPD, which is common in these books) and the mother says to the elder sister, "I don't want it. If you want it, come get it, or I'll do something with it." The elder sister, who is caretaker by nature, takes the baby, with zero experience and tries to track down the father. She ends up at the office of Jack Travis and the story kicks off.<br/><br/>This is a "love-at-first-sight" trope and it's obvious, early on. Jack is pretty persistent with regards to his feelings for Ella and wears her down at every turn. He is AMAZING in his tactics, though. Never, at any time, did I get psycho-vibes from him and I LOVED all of the things he did to win her heart.<br/><br/>Had to stick this one on the "Ride-or-Die" shelf because it's taking all I have not to turn around and re-read it. I will, soon, though, because it's that flippin' good!"

"3.5. Cute story. These last two in the series are a bit more predictable than the first two, which seem more unique and unlike many romance novels. Still, I enjoyed it."
